 Snow render Posted by Roguey 0 comments
After yesterdays successful fire render, I thought ill try the opposite end of the spectrum and do snow. Strangely it went much faster than I expected, once I had the skybox in-replace, it was time to invert the fire. To change fire to snow all you need to do is change the direction (from upwards fr ... » Read more |

 Simple star-field effect Posted by Roguey 0 comments
Very briefly today ive been working on a small piece of code to generate a star-field effect using just HTML5. In the past ive created the effect with Visual Basic 6 (non-DirectX and DirectX), C etc. So its great to be able to make a web-version finally. Let me know what you think and how it runs.

 Something new, web bound? Posted by Roguey 0 comments
Awhile back I took a look at 3D, and got to the point of making a small scene where you fly a space-ship around a small station. For a long time I stopped working on the project, as the technology I was using was based on DirectX9 and the non-supported Microsoft's XNA. For those who havnt seen a ... » Read more |

Your first response might be What the heck happened to the site?, well during the past few weeks ive been working on a new design. Hopefully you like the new design, although please give it some time (human nature is to hate change). One of the things I wanted to do was to remove the double navigati ... » Read more |

 Updates to MyHome, Arcade, Rand namer Posted by Roguey 2 comments
Over the past days ive been working hard on updating My Home, as I felt it was too congested (and a little confusing). So now ive ditched the put-everything-on-one-page, and instead using tabs. Hopefully now its easier to navigate, and the separation helps too (ie. before forum Signature was on upda ... » Read more |

Hi there, as you may of heard I have stopped supporting the X-Universe. During the past few days ive been looking at building my own 3D projects.

 Top-nav bar and recent activity Posted by Roguey 2 comments
Today ive been working on a way to make it easier to navigate through my various sites, ie. X3, X3TC etc. For a long time the quickest way of doing this was to scroll down to the bottom of the page and search for the small links.

 Upgraded Blog section Posted by Roguey 0 comments
During the past few days ive been working on the blog section. I wasnt happy how the system worked especially after the increased character limit. The old system would store the text in the database which isnt ideal for large bodies of text. This also meant the text had to be re-parsed every-time a ... » Read more |

 Quick reply and forum improvements Posted by Roguey 2 comments
The other day I was watching one of Sixar's videos when I wanted to start writing a reply. However to write a reply, the forum required me to load an 2nd page. This would cause me to lose my current place in the video. So ive been thinking what about having an in-line reply editor - a quick repl ... » Read more |
